Cowan-Dickie delighted to be back in Chiefs mix

Luke Cowan-Dickie admitted he was delighted to mark his return to competitive action with victory over Worcester Warriors in the Aviva Premiership.

Sidelined since November with a broken thumb sustained in the European Champions Cup clash with the Ospreys, the young Cornishman was thrown straight back into the deep end at Sixways.

Initially pencilled in to start the game on the bench, illness to club captain and fellow hooker Jack Yeandle meant Cowan-Dickie was thrust right into the action on his return.

"It was a good game to get back involved with," he said. "I...

Aussie addition pleases Baxter

Rob Baxter admits he sees a lot of similarities in new signing Dave Dennis to that of former Exeter Chiefs skipper Dean Mumm.

It was back in 2012 that Baxter brought Australian international Mumm to Sandy Park from Super Rugby outfit NSW Waratahs.

Three years later and Mumm departed Sandy Park as somewhat of a club legend, having made quite an impression during his time in Devon with the Chiefs.

Now back in Sydney, Exeter’s former talisman - who helped lift the LV= Cup back in 2014 - has played his part in helping to persuade 30-year-old Dennis to follow a similar...

The arrival of Dennis, who has been capped 18 times by the Wallabies, is...

Worcester 15 Chiefs 30

Exeter Chiefs maintained their lofty status in the Aviva Premiership as a powerful second half performance saw them to victory over Worcester Warriors.

Having netted first half tries through James Short and Ian Whitten, one of which was converted by Gareth Steenson, Rob Baxter’s side were unable to shake off the Worcester shackles.

Four first half penalties from Tom Heathcote ensured the two turned round all level at 12-apiece and although the Scotsman added a fifth kick early in the second half, it was scant reward as the Devonians finally kicked into gear.
